Jets owner Woody Johnson said he’s anxious to get a trade done for Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, but trusts the plan the team has in place.
“I know the reaction in the building was pretty high,” Johnson said of the day Rodgers told everyone he wanted to play for the Jets. “Everybody was pretty excited about having a player of that caliber, as coach said yesterday, having a person of that caliber, a player and we’re seeing that more now with what’s happening with the Jets, the confidence in where we’re going with this plan, with these leaders.
Johnson was careful not to say too much directly about his team’s interest in Rodgers, because the QB is still under contract with Green Bay. He referenced the team’s plan several times, however, and it is clear that plan is to trade for Rodgers.As for Lamar Jackson, Johnson said he agreed with what general manager Joe Douglas said on Monday.
“We’ve got a plan we’re going to stick to,” Johnson said. “That’s what we’re going to do. We’re not going to be distracted by a lot of other things that are happening that could be attractive in some people’s minds but we’re going to stick to our plan.”“When I go to the parking lot every week and I think the fans are going to kill me and maybe have a right to kill me, they’re so optimistic,” Johnson said.The Jets are one of the teams the NFL can force to do it.
